3.0 Update
Two of the “7 Rhythms” have been updated to better express healthy rhythms of discipleship the Church is called to practice. The “7 Rhythms” now better reflect the description of the church in Acts 2.
Freedom from Strongholds is now REPENTANCE (Acts 2:37-39). Here’s why:
- We believe we don’t actually practice freedom from strongholds – it’s a gift given by God and received by people when we repent
- Repentance encompasses confession, surrender, turning away from sin to the freedom and life Jesus offers.
- Followers of Jesus are called, specifically, to practice this rhythm throughout the Bible.
Celebration is now WORSHIP (Acts 2:26-28, 46-47). Here’s why:
- We want to call people to a broader rhythm of “worship” in all circumstances of their lives.
- Celebration is one expression of worship – you can worship with a glad and sincere heart. You can also worship in times of mourning, pain, and suffering.
- The focus of celebration can be on both people and God. While this is great as a Rooted event, we want to direct people to God-centered worship as a rhythm in daily life.
